This is federal and Biden didn’t add it or made it extremely hard to qualify. It doesn’t matter the state this is federal and why states are suing trying to regain control over the federal worker mandate and health care mandate, then they can issue religious exemptions at will.
The point is that if you have a state which allows exemptions and half of the employees are officially exempt, then 100% of your employees are covered.
I don’t think that’s how it’s working and why states have sued over the federal workers/contractors/sub contractors who aren’t being given that option even with their states having an exemption.
The US has an exemption and they’re not following that one either.
Well, there's a difference between the mandate for Federal employees and the OSHA/CMS mandate. The Federal employees are essentially screwed AFAIK, because they have no recourse.
The OSHA/CMS mandate is attempting to blanket cover all workers, regardless of who is employing them: OSHA for companies over 100 employees under the guise of "worker safety", and CMS by withholding Medicare/Medicaid payments unless the medical employer enforces the vax.
The CMS mandate is far more insidious, since most medical facilities make upwards of 60-80% of their money from Medicare and Medicaid.
